Résumé
Acute compartment syndrome is a condition that requires an immediate diagnosis and surgical management. Compartment syndrome related to hematoma caused by minor trauma in hemodialysis patients is rarely reported. We present two cases of hemodialysis patients diagnosed with compartment syndrome of the forearm due to hematoma caused by the disruption of blood vessels after a minor trauma. The removal of the hematoma and fasciotomy with adequate skin care significantly improved soft tissue heeling with no functional impairment. A long-term history of hemodialysis may increase the vascular vulnerability and have the potential risk of disruption by minor trauma. When the blood vessel is disrupted, a hematoma is formed and necessitating emergent surgical intervention. Surgeons should be aware of the potential risk of damage to blood vessels with minor trauma that results in the formation of a hematoma and compartment syndrome in hemodialysis patients.
